'Life is good' Saturday event tossing out cancer

Special to The Record

Published Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Last April, on her birthday, Angela Ashton had a radical mastectomy for breast cancer that had been diagnosed a week earlier. Two weeks after that surgery, she walked into the St. Augustine Relay for Life team meeting and announced she was going to have a team. With four weeks left until the Relay, Angela's family and friends supported her efforts to raise funds to fight cancer and they raised a whopping $7,000 in that four weeks.

A year later, this young cancer survivor is celebrating another birthday and planning to raise a lot more money, once again with the help of her family, friends and the entire St. Augustine community.

Everyone is invited to attend the Life is Good horseshoe tournament beginning at noon Saturday at the St. Johns County Fair Grounds, State Road 207. The cost to play in the tournament (two-person teams) is $30.

There will be activities for families as well as great music, good food and prizes.

For information on the tournament, contact Angela or David at 692-4258 or Alan at 209-0385.
